Englisch 2 Level B2,

Catherine Shultis, catherine.shultis@fhnw.ch

Students will achieve a B2/C1 level (Council of Europe's Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) after 4 semesters of English. This will enable students to fully participate academically or professionally in the field of architecture. Students will be introduced to multimedia resources to promote self-study and a lifelong use of the English language.

The four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking as well as grammar and vocabulary will be revised and expanded upon. Reading and writing: students will improve their skills by being exposed to a variety of technical and everyday English texts. They will produce a portfolio of written texts (reviews, summaries, compositions, etc.). In this semester, students will learn about paragraph structure, essay structure and summarizing. Speaking and listening: students will increase their confidence and fluency in managing spoken discourse in a variety of contexts, while being exposed to native and non-native varieties of English. Grammar and vocabulary: students will learn technical terms related to architecture as well as preparing for working life. In this semester, future forms and the passive voice will be revised.
